How do I include an image's collection hierarchy in its name when exported?

Hi,
Newbie question - I organize selected images using hierarchies of collections. When I export the images in those collections, I'd like to include the entire collection hierarchy of each image in its exported name.
For example, if I have a collection hierarchy like the following:
CollectionSet1
     +CollectionSet2
          +CollectionA
               Image1
               Image2
          +CollectionB
               Image1
               Image2
     +CollectionSet3
          +CollectionA
               Image1
               Image2
          +CollectionB
               Image1
               Image2
And I export the images from CollectionSet2, I'd like the images to have the following names:
     CollectionSet1_CollectionSet2_CollectionA_Image1.jpg
     CollectionSet1_CollectionSet2_CollectionA_Image2.jpg
     CollectionSet1_CollectionSet2_CollectionB_Image1.jpg
     CollectionSet1_CollectionSet2_CollectionB_Image2.jpg
Is this possible? Or is there a better way (I'm assuming there is ) to structure my images to enable this type of filenaming?
Also, which is a recommended book regarding in-depth discussion of cataloging and exporting techniques?
Thanks!

Unfortunately not. At least not natively for sure. And i haven't heard of any plugins to do that.

If you mean digital asset management as a whole, then The DAM Book is the undisputable number one. it si not specific to Lightroom, but the fresh 2nd edition has some Lightroom stuff too.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

How do I include an image in the middle of a sentence in sapscript?

Hello friends,
How can I include/print an image or graphic representation in the middle of a sentence using SAPscript forms?
For example, I would like to be able to add an image of a telephone right before the telephone number, or even print someone's signature right after their name.
Thank you for your help

Hello all,
Thanks for your replies. However I think I need to add few more elements of information here.
1) I am not using smartforms and am not familiar with them. So smartform solutions are not an option for me. Strictly SAPscript forms.
2) The images and graphics have all been imported and created in SE78. What I need to do is to incorporate them into my SAPscript form at the right place.
3) When I use the 'insert' function from the dropdown list, it creates the following:
/: BITMAP 'LOGO' OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BMON
But if I add some text before or after the 'BITMAP.....' command, that is to say:
/: text 1 BITMAP 'LOGO' OBJECT ......... text 2
then this command is not interpreted, and the whole thing comes out as text. Let's put it this way, I want to have the text 1 and text 2 as text and the bit map in the middle interpreted as image and printed as image with text 1 and text 2 printed on either sides of this image. how can I concatenate a text line, a command line and a text line into one line such that SAPscript interprets it correctly?
Thanks once again

How can you use one image and edit it three different ways to export later?

I am a new Lightroom 3 user. How can use the same image and edit it multiple ways to produce mulitple images to later export? For example, I have a picture of a bride and groom. I want to use that image and create a color image, a black and white image, and a close up of their hands.

Do I need to do either of those options before I start editing the image at all? For example, what if I am working on the image and doing some creative edits. Then I think of another option that I could do. Is it too late at that time or can I still get the original image to begin with?

How do I stop Illustrator automatically adding numbers to file name when exporting with artboard?

I need to export with artboard. Illustrator automatically adds a number to my original file name. It won't even let me replace the old file. It is extremely annoying and makes flow with other programs really hard because they can't auto update, since the file name changes. When you have multiple files, you can't be manually renaming all the time. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

This has been discussed a few times, and here is a summary of the usual solutions.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2989508#2989508
What is it EXACTLY you are trying to do. Are you trying to export a single page from filename.ai and make it filename.psd, (without any number afterwards). In that case you could delete the extra artboards prior to export, and then you won't have to checked use artbaords as there is only one page. Otherwise I would plan ahead so your end result will be filename-01.jpg, filename-02.jpg, and then everytime you use export artbaords those names will replace.
I am happy with the function as is, and would prefer to have a serial number automatically after the name when checking use artboards. But sounds liek you and others desire more options and thte ability to turn off adding to the filename.

Illustator Image placed in InDesign CS5 moving position when Exporting to PDF

I have a Illustrator image placed on a master page and when I go to export to a PDF the image moves to the left about 2 inches.
The same image on another master page outputs correctly.
I copied and pasted it from the page that is working correctly to this master page, but it still moves.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you fully patched?
Can you make this happen with a fresh file and different graphic?
Tried the fix corrupt files by expoting to inx or idml?

Why Apple can't undo its mistake?
Whose mistake? The source of the problem:
I was required to enter my recovery key. Now, there begins that huge flaw. I've forgotten it (I know it was my responsibility to remember it).
If you had just taken the simple steps of storing your recovery key as Apple tells you to when you set it up, none of this would've happened.
As it clearly states in the FAQ on 2-step verification: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
After you turn it on, there will be no way for anyone to access and manage your account at My Apple ID other than by using your password, verification codes sent your trusted devices, or your Recovery Key. You must be responsible for:
Remembering your password.
Keeping your trusted devices physically secure.
Keeping your Recovery Key in a safe place.
If you lose access to two of these three items at the same time, you could be locked out of your Apple ID account permanently.
In addition, with two-step verification turned on, only you can reset your password, manage your trusted devices, or create a new recovery key.
Apple Support can help you with other aspects of your service, but they will not be able to update or recover these three things on your behalf.
If you aren't responsible enough to do that, you should not have turned the optional security feature on.
This is your fault, not Apple's.

How do I make still Images the same size as the video when importing? CS5

Hi,
I'm having a problem importing and using still images as they are so large.
The video is 720 x 576 and the image I want to use is 4752 x 3168
How can I scale it down to fit with the video. Currently it just zooms in to a part of the picture making it pretty useless.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Lois

I made a tutorial on this exact thing.

How can I import an image without Motion 5 changing its proportions?

I have an image that's intentionally larger than the canvas size (1080x1920) in Motion 5. Every time I import it or drag it to the timeline, Motion automatically squeezes the image to fit the canvas proportions. I know I can go and adjust the width of the image to get it back closer to its correct proportions, but I'm going to be importing multiple images like this will add a ton of extra (and non-precise) work.
Is there a setting to change this?

I've tried that. The properties show that it is at 100%, and I have to stretch it out further than 100% in order for the proportions to look normal again. I've also selected "Do Nothing" in Preferences and it doesn't make a difference. It seems that option is for scaling images that are larger than the project pixel dimensions, but it still squishes my imported images.
Since this was a relatively simple animation, I just did the scene in Final Cut and then brought it back into my Motion project as a Quicktime movie. I would think such a workaround shouldn't be necessary though.

Problems with image names when exporting - images that have come back into lightroom from photoshop

Can anyone help ? When I need to take an image from lightroom into photoshop then back into lightroom and then I export that image, the original file number disappears and is replaced by dashes. Does anyone know how to solve this ?
Thanks !

The appearance of dashes usually suggests some kind of pre-set e.g.
Wedding-20150106-0001.jpg
The only suggestion I can make is that you check to ensure you are using the correct parameters in the templates manager.

How do I keep the time and date stamp of my photo when exporting from iphoto

Hi,
I notice the time and date stamp changed when I exported the photos from iPhoto 11 to a external HDD.
When I looked at the information about the exported photos on my external HDD the time and date changed to the time and date of when I exported the photos form iPhoto instead of keeping the time and date information of when the photo was taken as it appears in iPhoto.
I thought the time and date stamp is in the meta data of the photo file and can't be changed, am I correct?
Thanks,

Kyzelios,
How can view the meta data from "finder" or do I need a 3rd party app?
"Get info" function only gives me the creation date which is the export date and time.

How does a 1.6-gig clip become an 11-gig clip when exported from FCP?

I captured some video and had to do it in two sessions because my camera kept dropping frames. My first clip was 600 megs, my second was 1 gig. I put them into the timeline and synced them up at the break spot. I wanted to have just one file to work on in Shake, so I exported the two clips as a Quick Time movie -- no compression, self-contained -- a 720 X 480 NTSC file.
Even with no compression, I expected to get a 1.6-gig movie out of the export, but it was 11 gigs. Where did the extra data come from? And what is the extra data? It cannot get any more resolution than there was to begin with in the original two clips, right?
Any tips on a more efficient way to handle this situation much appreciated.
JimBe

The two segments were each about three and a half minutes long. The camera was a Sony Handycam DV. I did not have any special settings when I captured, I made one choice, to capture both video and audio. Yes, I did select uncompressed when I exported.
So the camera is acquiring with a codec, it sounds like, but if I select uncompressed on export does that mean FCP will uncompress the compressed footage captured by the camera? I did not think that was possible. Isn't all the information thrown away by the camera when it acquires the footage with its codec?
I was thinking that "uncompressed" export would just give me back what I put in, a 1.6-gig file. I did not want to compress a second time.
Is there an export format choice that just gives you what you had without any manipulation of the original data?

How do i keep my RAW files from turing to jpeg files when exporting them to My Passport?

I am an amature photographer and take all my pitures in RAW form (highest quality and more editing capability). I was given a My Passport for Mac external harddrive to transfer all my files to to open more space on my mac book. When importing my RAW files to the Passport they automatically turn to JPEG files. I just re-imported a few files from the Passport back into Aperature and they are still JPEG files Is there something i need to do to keep my RAW files RAW? If not with the Passport, is there another external that would be of better use to me?

When you drag and drop the from Aperture you export the JPEG Preview.
Use the command "File > Export" in Aperture to export the original files.
You can also open an Aperture library in Photos - this will create a Photos library.

BUG: Cannot amend a file name when exporting an image, without overtyping

I've raised this on 4 bug reports now and had a live chat and been recommended to post this here.
I've even gone to the trouble of screen capturing the bug as its hard to explain as the text explanation is confusing:
When you select the file in the file view to get the name to appear in the file name input box, the name appears in the input box and becomes highlighted.
If you then click on the text to de-highlight it (as I want to amend it with a _v2 or _v3) as soon as you do ANY key press the whole text in the input box gets re-selected, meaning that any further key presses type over the file name.
I then end up with a file name called "v2", as the underscore causes the selection and the V2 types over.....FRUSTRATING!
This happens on all of our machines win7 and 8, but not in ANY of the other Adobe cloud programs. It seems like a simple FOCUS bug in the UI coding.
Here's the video:
Adobe Flash Issue - YouTube

In Flash Pro CC 2014 on Win 7 Pro, yes it does the same thing. Any keyboard key I hit will work, but then the entire filename is selected. I'm so used to working with text from coding that I reflexively saw the selection and used an arrow key to deselect and move back to the spot I wanted to edit. It's definitely a hiccup and I would report it to the bug/wish form.

How to set the default name when exporting a report ?

I use crystal reports in my C# asp application, with the CrystalReportViewer class. When the end user exports the reports by clicking on the toolbar button, the "save as" dialog box appears, with default name "_viewer.pdf" or "_viewer.xls" etc. "_viewer" being the CrystalReportViewer's instance name. Has anyone an idea to change this default name ? The end user would like at least the report name. Thanks

I looked around and I it appears that you have found the only way to set this.Â There doesn't seem to be dynamic support for the exported file names.
